The reason I asked is because I found an item on Ravelry that calls for sport weight yarn. I have 4 skeins of DK Paintbox Yarns and was wondering if I could use them. I will, as some of you have suggested, do a swatch and check. Thank you for your comments. I love this site.

My grandkids got M&Ms in tubes for Christmas. I had not bought a ball winder yet so I used the empty M&M tube for winding a ball of yarn. I was keeping it in project bag when it occurred to me that this little tube could also be used to carry odds and ends needed for knitting. I put my folding scissors, tapestry needles, stitch markers, cable needles, tape measure, crochet hooks (for picking up drop stitches), and even DPNs in this tube. Kept everything neat and easy to find in my bag!

Now that I have bought myself a lacis Ball Winder I still use the tube for winding center pull mini skeins.

The Idiot of the Day award goes out to a couple of drivers on a California highway, who can't control their anger or vehicles very well. The problem with stupid people is : they walk and drive among the rest of us, and trying to avoid them can be difficult. https://biggeekdad.com/2017/06/idiots-of-the-day/

It was 109°F on our back porch as a high today. They expect the temperature to be 112° tomorrow. But, our humidity is only 9%...it's a dry heat!!! Will be staying inside knitting under the air conditioning vents!!!

I live in Phoenix and it's supposed to 121 degrees on Tuesday, the first day of summer! We are going to have a very hot summer!

Went to Walmart and got some fat quarters, made 4 yesterday. Thanks for sharing.

I used iron on fleece in order to get them to stand by themselves. I am using them as project bags so I really want them to have enough body to hold their shape. I find them easier to use if they can stand by themselves.

I have a huge fabric stash. Was a quilter before my stroke, but can not longer quilt due to residual damage from the stroke. But I can still crochet, knit and sew with a few adaptions, so I'm truly blessed! Since you're a Beatles fan, have you made one in Beatle fabric? That would be a hoot!

Funny you should say that. I am cutting out one with Beatles Fabric now.
